A beautiful original 1950s ballerina length dress with pleated chest and shawl collar. The dress has an original long nickel zip and is unlined – probably silk. I have displayed this dress with a full black tulle petticoat underneath which is not included in the sale but can be purchased separately if you contact me.

Chest 38 inches (97 cms)

Waist 30 inches (77 cms)

Length 46 inches (117 cms)

A very versatile dress which has been made by a professional seamstress and is in excellent condition.

An amazing original full circle cotton ballgown with a vibrant daffodil print. This dress has been made by a seamstress and there has been a V shaped panel inserted at the zip expertly carried out which if removed could make the dress smaller. There is a drawstring lace on the bodice and the bodice is boned.

Beautiful original 1950’s Cotton floral Rockabilly dress with large bow at waist and side pocket. This dress has a hem of five inches which would have been turned up by this amount to improve the fullness of the skirt but could easily be lengthened.

A wonderful example of Horrockses designs of the 1950’s. This dress is a sea green cotton with a black floral design and a slight sheen to the fabric, the colours are vibrant and in great condition. The buttons are in black and could be moved to make the waist larger if required. The measurements are taken as the dress is and they are as follows –

Chest 38 inches (97 cms) the style of the bust is pleated and therefore has room to expand.
Waist 26 inches (67 cms) as stated this could be made larger and probably was larger originally.
